2010 is off to a good start, with you lot making 14 games for this theme, each varying wildly from the next.

Check them out!

Denatured, by ToodiceYou control 1 of 49 motes. Avoid getting too many electrons, while firing them at your opponents. Once you or an enemy collects 4 motes it’s game over!

99 Bottles of Beer, by MarcosA sobering look at designated driving (yeah I went there!). Avoid heat seeking bottles of beer. Get hit at they swarm on you, beating you into merciful, blissful unconsciousness.

C:Medieval is an amazingly ambitious take on the 100 Things theme. Probably because up to 100 people can play this game at once! Destroy your opponents in Zelda style combat, and upgrade your character at the end of the round.

Seriously though, you guys need to try this game out, because fighting the computer alone is HARD (I’m pretty sure it cheats!).

From the Artist

C:Medieval is a 100 player online arcade game based on medieval combat. Up to 4 players can play on one PC whether it is a server or client. The combat is similar to Zelda or Gauntlet, at the end of each round players can buy new titles, armor and weapons.

It probably took more than 7 days full-time to complete, multiplayer games are frickin hard to make.

It follows the theme because there is 100 things, and the things are (possibly) made of people!

Happy New Year, everybody! While 2010, might quite not have the chutzpah of the year 2000 – what with its futuristic robot names and the ever delicious Millenios, it is a bright and bold decade in its own right. One that calls for an equally bright and bold theme – so what better than one with some strict limitations?

Yes, 100 Things is the name of the game this month, in honor of the original Indie Game Jam, which back in March of 2002 which tasked developers with using 100,000 sprites on screen at the same time.

We're a group of indie game developers, running a friendly competition every month. The rules: Make a game based on the month's theme, and don't spend more than 7 days. New games posted at the end of every month.
